JUDGE WHO BLOCKED TRUMP’S SANCTUARY CITY ORDER RAISED $230,000 FOR OBAMA

The California judge who blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to withhold federal funds from sanctuary cities reportedly raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for former President Barack Obama in 2008.

United States District Court Judge William Orrick III, of the notoriously liberal Northern District of California, ruled against the Trump administration after the city of San Francisco and the county of Santa Clara sued over President Trump’s plan to withhold federal funding from cities or counties that harbor illegal aliens.

Judge Orrick raised $230,000 for President Obama during the 2008 election. This included raising $200,000 directly for the Obama campaign and an additional $30,000 for committees supporting Obama that year.

The sanctuary city order federal lawsuit will now work its way through the appeals courts.
